I guess everybody has read about the little blonde girl with 'golden' locks in her hair. Well, not real gold of course, but just the colour of her hair. Never mind how she came across the bears home, or whatever, it's just a kids tale, but this game here is specifically meant for adults to be kids again, hehehe. Whether you enjoy it or not, that is rather up to each personal taste, but for me, I like the game, but not the payouts.

In the first instance, Quickspin games are well known for its very low paytable. As far as I can remember, Quickspin was the first to come up with an extremely low paytable in The Wild Chase game, so low that it was almost impossible to win big from it! This Goldilocks game is no exception either, with a very low paytable, with Wild symbols that pay only 40x the total bet for getting 5 of them, and worse still, you can only get 3 Scatters that pay a low 3x the total bet amount. The other symbols have even extremely lower values, from 10x to 3x the total bet, so getting any big win from this game would also be an almost impossible task!

Getting 3 symbols of Goldilocks, the Scatter symbol, on reels 2, 3 and 4, awards 10 free spins without any multiplier, but the Ice Cream symbol acts as a Multiplier Wild of 2x, 3x or 4x. More Wild symbols can be won by collecting Scatter symbols, during the free spins, which would progressively convert one Bear symbol into a Sticky Wild, until all 3 Bear symbols become Wild symbols. These are the features you need to get in order to get bigger wins, without which, the payouts from the free spins would be very disappointing indeed, partly because the Multiplier Wilds are not sticky and only pays for wins in the current spin. Anyway, more free spins can be retriggered, if you are lucky enough, but I certainly wasn't. I didn't get any retriggers in any of my plays on this game. Sheesh!

DISLIKED

What I dislike about this game is that the multiplier doesn't apply to all wins during the free spins. Many of my winning combinations were without the Multiplier Wild, so they only get paid at 1x. Only a few got paid with 2x and 3x. As for the progressive Bear Wild symbols, yes, I did manage to progress up to 2 Bears Wild symbols, but even so, the payouts were never big enough for my satisfaction. All in all, my best win on this Goldilocks game is a miserably low 67x my bet amount! Generally a disappointing game for me, but can be quite entertaining to play.

When I read Goldilocks as a child, I became immersed by how she as the little blonde girl finds a house, how there were 3 different bowls of different temperatures and 3 different beds. It was a matter of making the right choices in life. Now as an adult this exact same fairy tale became a fun and entertaining find! To me, this is "just right"! 25 paylines, 3 scattered Red Goldilocks symbols on second, third and fourth reels for 10 free spins and bowls like multiply by up to 4x in addition to the regular house wilds!

In my opinion, do the consecutive bowls like 2x and 3x multiply each other? I sure hope so and assuming they do because those were part of the reason I had an large incredible win from $2.50 triggering bet! I like how each time in free spins Goldilocks, who has a blue background annoys the 3 bears every time she appears, can rack up extra wild bears!! It takes easy effort for the Papa bear to become wild after collecting 3 Goldilocks scatters. The other two which is the Mama bear and the little bear require 5 Goldilocks each for them to become wild for the duration of the free spins.

But hey, the first two are easy to handle, it is the last final extra wild I need help on because over the course of collecting enough scattered Goldilocks, 55% of the time I collect all extra wilds. It is important to collect as much Goldilocks as possible before free spins run out because the last extra wild gained along with 2 extra free spins are the big gainers in my funds!! The same nostalgic feeling I get with Netent's Jack and the Beanstalk, trying to win over the Harp Wild!

I mean think about it, the 3 bears as extra wilds, the house wilds and bowls of plenty that multiply very well (I think they multiply each other), these free spins can get down to some serious business!!! When I finished playing free spins on a $2.50 triggering bet I earned a big $169.30. You would be surprised by the amount of wilds appearing in combination!!! The biggest I made on Goldilocks is about $349 of a $6.25 bet!!!

Amazing use of accuracy of the fairy tale giving birth to this video slot, the sounds it makes when enough Goldilocks scatters are collected and the corresponding bear turns wild, and the big win sound where I got a surprise heart attack when the volume was raised up to 100% during the night!! A loud big win and a coin show!! Goldilocks is a 9.5 out of 10, besides I cannot cut the green stars in half lol!

DISLIKED

You start off with 10 Free spins when 3 scattered Goldilocks appears on 2nd, 3rd and 4th reels at the same time and you rack up only a few free spins along the way. Maximum would be 4 free spins gained, that is if I am able to collect enough Goldilocks to annoy the third and last little bear for 13 collected Goldilocks. No retriggers on this juicy feature and Goldilocks when collected do not hit as wilds too, meaning they are blockers on other combinations!!

Goldilocks And The Wild Bears is well designed video slot from Quickspin software provider. It has 25 paylines. The graphics and theme in this game is great and I enjoy while I was playing it. I played it a few months ago at Next casino.

The base game is interesting, but the payouts could be a little better. I had only a few winnings which were over x 10 bet from base game. And I think this is not good, I wish the winnings were higher. I like the multiplier wild which appears and awarded up to x4 bet.

The free spins is very interesting when you triggered them. Bears turn wild feature is great. On each spin you collect the scatter symbols to make the bear symbols turn into wild symbols. Also you can win additional 4 free spins. I had free spins feature twice when I played this game. All winnings were less than x 100 bet, but they were decent, good anyway.

Otherwise I think it is a decent game which could provide some good winnings. But I don't think it could provide huge winnings, because of numbers of free spins and also because of paytable. The game would be much more interesting with all those wilds if you can receive more additional free games. I received all 4 additional free games and when it became very funny with wild bears, the game ended. I think it ended to soon, it was really fun watching all those wilds into the reels. I will rate this game with 7 stars. I miss a better payouts during base game. Into free spins feature payouts are good, but base game pay quite poor. After all I like this game much more than some others from Quickspin software, maybe because I had good session while I was playing it. I think I could play it more in the future.
